• 1.5 teaspoons garam masala

• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 serrano pepper, minced
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1.5 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger
• 1 cup green peas
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 1 lemon, juiced

Instructions

1. Dice potatoes into 1/4-inch cubes, place in cold water, add salt, and boil. Simmer until tender (about 15 minutes), then drain.
2. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté the onion until translucent (about 5 minutes). Mix kosher salt, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne in a small bowl to create the spice blend.
3. Add serrano pepper, garlic, ginger, and the spice mix to the onions. Cook for about 2 minutes, then add peas and cook until heated through and tender (about 3 minutes).
4. Combine the mixture with the potatoes in a bowl, add cilantro and lemon juice, and mix until well combined, partially mashing some potatoes. Add salt as needed.
5. Blend cilantro, mint, green onions, serrano pepper, lime juice, and yogurt until smooth, then season with salt.
6. Spread spoonfuls of the filling over half of each tortilla and fold in half. Repeat with the rest of the filling and tortillas.
7. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Cut into thirds and serve at any temperature with chutney sauce.
